there is no way to stop it unless you break another levee opposite of it

Okay, explain that.

And I do mean in Romper Room terms I can understand.

Either A) Blow a hole in a levee on the other side of the river, giving the water somewhere else to go, preferably where it will do less damage, or
B) FIgure out where the water is going and blow part of a levee to let the water *out*.

Both are viable techniques used on Old Man River over the years.
